Recover your YouTube account using YouTube account recovery AI tool
Google has introduced a ChatBot that can recover your YouTube account. However, before we go ahead and use this tool, it is important to know if your channel has been hacked. To do so, you must check if a Google account attached to your channel has been compromised. So, if anything, such as your profile, description, settings, AdSense for YouTube association, or messages you send are different from what you remember, Additionally, check if you have an unrecognized post on your YouTube channel.
Google accounts can be hacked, hijacked, or compromised for different reasons, such as having harmful content like malware or receiving deceitful emails made to look like a familiar service (phishing). Never share your email address and password with anyone to keep your account safe. Also, be careful not to download files or software from untrustworthy sources.
To use it, you need to go to support.google.com and then click on Chat with our hacked channel assistant. Now, you can answer a few questions and get your account back.
It is probably one of the simplest ways to recover your account using Artificial Intelligence.
Recover your YouTube account using conventional methods
Let me begin by stating that recovering the channel without using this tool is a hassle. However, if you still want to try, use one of the following methods.
- Check your Recovery Gmail: First, we need you to check if there is a message sent to your recovery account’s Gmail asking you to change the credentials or something else. Do keep in mind that you will only be able to access the link provided there within a couple of minutes of receiving the mail. If you can access the mail, you can just change the password, and you will be good to go.
- Contact YouTube: Next, we recommend you contact YouTube by tweeting something on their official Twitter (or X) handle, sending an email, or sending a direct message to your nation’s official YouTube account. This may or may not be fruitful, as YouTube will take some time to reply.
Even though these two are the more conventional methods, we recommend you first try the AI tool mentioned earlier.
